    The prize is a trip to the spot by these people and they do cover both Iceland and Greenland. I'd actually say Iceland, looking at the map...

    A huge thank you to all who post the comps and deals that make life so much fun!

    Hi everyone, I'm really falling behind in this challenge...I haven't scored more than 891 in any of the trials. Wondered if anyone could give me a clue where to put my last pin. I would be grateful for any help I can get. Thank you.

    I got 997 by choosing a spot in Odessa town centre - not too far from the port, in amongst the streets that look like a grid pattern. Sheer Luck though, my total is only 6799.

    Yay!!

    Congratulations *******,

    The time has now come to compete in the Final Challenge!

    Deactivate the Malice Box, save the world from its fury and WIN PRIZES!

    Prizes include a luxury SAFARI ADVENTURE holiday for two, state of the art GPS devices flights to Europe and a year’s supply of books

    You must now pin point where you think The Malice Box is. The closest pin point to its exact location will win the grand prize. But hurry, the competition goes live from 1200 hours today and closes closes at midnight on February 16th. If another player beats you to it, they will win.

    Good luck.

    I dont know what my final score is, abysmal if my previous scores are anything to go by, lol. I made six rather wild stabs in the map, then before logging my last one was reading the t&cs, and the prizes etc, and it said that the holiday was chosen as this is where Robert Reckliss finds the malice box, so made my final pin stab in Africa (Kenya to be more exact), so might be worth bearing that in mind?
